In addition to exquisite packaging and variety, the prices of these salt are more expensive. For example, a bottle of 425 grams of Hawaii black salt is priced at 169 yuan, which is more than 50 times more expensive than ordinary bags.

The main ingredient of salt is sodium chloride, the appearance is white crystal, and it is easy to dissolve in water. The most basic "knowledge point" in this junior high school textbook is almost the first enlightenment of the chemistry micro -world. However, the above -mentioned "net red salt" broke people's awareness of salt, and most of them claimed that they had rich trace elements, and could even regulate the human pH balance. Taking the Himalayan rose salt as an example, the merchant claims that the salt was formed as early as 250 million years ago. It is natural and non -polluting. More than 80 minerals needed by the human body are the true kings of salt.

According to experts, the so -called purity of 98%of salt means that the remaining 2%are more than 80 impurities, and in the final analysis, it is a rough salt with a lot of impurities. Foreign nutrition experts have stated that it is difficult to confirm that the Himalayan rose salt is more natural or more pure than ordinary salt. In fact, the salt may contain elements that are almost impossible. If they are separated and large -dose, these elements, such as arsenic and uranium, are harmful.

According to the "Food Nutritional Repertory Standards", salt does not allow nutritional enhancers except iodine. As for minerals such as calcium and iron, it is not reliable to consume by eating salt. Salt is just condiments, not health products. It does not need to pay attention to too many ingredients. It is enough to look at sodium and iodine in the “nutritional composition table”.

The "National Nutrition Plan (2017-2030)" issued by the State Council proposes that by 2030, the average daily salt intake of the whole people will be reduced by 20%of the per capita salt intake. "Report on the Nutrition and Chronic Disease of Chinese Residents (2020)" shows that the residents 'families in my country have achieved results, and the per capita salt of residents' families will be reduced to 9.3 grams per day, which is 1.2 grams compared to 2015, but 5 daily The gap between Ke's recommendation is still large. From a reality, the amount of salt control is more important than what salt to choose.

Therefore, in the face of the amazing "net red salt" and the "nutritional salt" known as zinc supplement and zinc, some netizens commented that these magnificent "net red salt" sprinkled on food, which is pleasing to the eye; there are also netizens It is believed that buying such a "net red salt" is a waste of money and paying IQ taxes.
